Smiler

Started as a joke because the back of the core smiles when cooling... but got kind of unsettling.

Getting creepy

AC that started as a bit of a joke, but after tweaking it for ages now is kind of unnerving.

Thoughts on what to do with a body?

Got this guitar that I'm getting playable. My first guitar that was pretty banged up. Had been on fire in the past and the body is pretty worn.

It's a Kay K2T. Not worth anything other than to me.

The original hardware is still good and electronics are working, just going to do a bit of rewiring and replace the screws as they were all shredded and corroded.

Wondering what to do with the finish.

I could sand the rest of the varnish/lacquer off entirely and either have it raw wood, or refinish it. Maybe add some dye, the grain is quite pretty under the roughness and looks like it would take a strain quite well.

Or just sand and polish it up a bit and leave it roughly as it is, with a bit of Danish oil or something similar.

Looks like a bad relic job at the minute though. Any thoughts?
